CADAS - a fast processor for ADC correction and readout

Creators

  • 1. Deutsches Elektronen-Synchrotron (DESY), Hamburg (Germany, F.R.)

Description

The TASSO detector at DESY is equipped with a liquid Argon shower calorimeter. A fast processor has been designed to correct the pedestal and gain values for each of the 11000 preamplifier and ADC channels to give a calibrated 'equivalent shower energy' output. This one slot CAMAC module contains a 16 bit CPU built around AMD 2901 bit slices. Each module controls one CAMAC crate containing up to 320 ADC channels. (orig.)
